With day jobs to deal with too. Home Organization became a side-passion.
DWELLING Monster was born in a crawlspace by Moxie, who had three hours to paint the basement after the kids used the walls as a napkin. He had no idea if he had the right paint color leftover from 5 years ago. His home organization consisted of a drawer filled with manuals, paint chips, and old rubber-bands. After digging through 14 old, rusty paint cans and making four trips to the paint store for samples, he found his three-hour project had turned into a two-day ordeal. There had to be a better way.
Moxie talked to his friends, who were having similar home organizational struggles. Together they formulated a grand plan to resolve this home ownership crisis—not just for his Monster community, but for humans too. After a trip to the change jar after work (that’s “bank” in human terms), Tile Crunch™ snack food became a reality! This innovative floor-tile treat quickly became in hottest junk-food in the Monster nation. Given that this wasn’t the original intent at all, Moxie formed a “Booord” (“Board of Directors" in human terms) to formulate a real plan. One year later - DWELLING Monster was born to solve the home organization and maintenance mess for the masses.
Moxie enjoys home improvement, but juggles six micro-monsters (‘children’ in human terms). He has had the vision for DWELLING Monster for decades and truly believed he was on to something when he turned that vision over to Mot (and received Tile Crunch™ instead).
Moxie has decades of experience in commercial and residential construction, but somehow his personal Home Organization was less than stellar.
Mort digs on details. From finding the one number in a spreadsheet that is wrong, to immediately knowing that humans shouldn’t eat aerosolized ceramic fiberglass snacks. Mort comes from an industrial background, but totally gets the ‘human’ lingo of the building industry, and handles much of the roadmap of DWELLING Monster from the human perspective as well as the accounting side of the business. He’s really good with numbers and also enjoys a good glass of caulk-on-the-rocks as a nightcap.
Ziggy is a hands on type of monster. He is good at a lot and handles a lot of day to day product management. He also knows a good amount about home improvement and has worked in software as well as building systems for decades. He enjoys long walks around the swamp, and even human food such as BBQ and Sushi. Ziggy brings deep executive experience through his “Executive Kostco (Costco on earth) Membership.”
Uchi is the brains behind making things work. She holds together the thoughts of all the other board members and turns them from messes of thoughts of processes into engineering marvels that make everything possible. Uchi went to school at one of the best Monster schools available for software development, and also enjoys travel and the taste of roofing screws for breakfast.
Mot was the reason DWELLING Monster made Tile Crunch™ instead of an application to organize a home. Sadly he let AI do all the work for him, and we wound up in this situation. Mot means well and is currently relegated to expanding the Tile Crunch™ flavor profile division. Mot is a last-minute type monster, which always gets him in trouble.
